US EditionIsrael says latest remains returned from Gaza are not hostages
- On Saturday, November 1, Israel said three bodies transferred from Gaza on Friday via the Red Cross were not hostages after tests at the National Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv.
- Since October 10, the US-brokered ceasefire has established a fragile truce focused on returning living hostages and remains, with phase one envisaging the release of Israeli hostages for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.
- Hamas's armed wing said Saturday it handed over unidentified bodies, alleged Israel refused offered samples and demanded remains, and the Ezzedine Al-Qassam Brigades said, "We handed them over to preempt any enemy claims."
- The exchange followed Israel returning 30 Palestinian bodies to Gaza, completing that step of an exchange, while earlier this week Israeli strikes killed more than 100 people.
- Hamas says the process needs time because massive destruction in Gaza hampers locating remains, health workers at Nasser Hospital say identification is slow without DNA kits, and the last 11 hostages' remains remain to be returned amid 225 Palestinian bodies received since the ceasefire.
